Ryuji Miyamoto
March 9 - May 8
The Amador Gallery exhibit "Kobe," is a series of black and white photographs by Ryuji Miyamoto which display the architectural devastation wrought by the Great Hanshin earthquake upon the city of Kobe, Japan in 1995.
Over the years, Ryuji Miyamoto has kept a watchful eye on Japan's cities as they underwent vertiginous changes. His intention has been to photodocument the demolitions and reconstructions of whole quarters of the cities. Although he tries to photograph the architectural qualities of the cities, he often focuses on the aspect of destruction: the pictures of Kobe after the 1995 earthquake are his most renowned series.
